Proprietary trading firms frequently update their evaluation metrics, payout conditions, and trading restrictions to manage their risk. A rule change—such as a sudden ban on news trading, a reduction in weekend leverage, or the introduction of a new consistency rule—can directly impact your ability to get funded or secure your next payout.
We categorize rule changes by severity to help you prioritize what matters most:
The most critical updates we track include changes to Daily Loss Limits (specifically whether they are calculated based on Equity or Balance), Consistency Rules (which can invalidate payouts if one trade accounts for too much of your profit), News Trading Restrictions (time windows around high-impact events), and Weekend Holding Policies (especially for crypto and swing traders).
It depends on the firm. Some prop firms grandfather existing traders into the old rules, while others apply risk management updates universally to all active accounts. We mark retroactive changes with a "BREAKING" severity tag so you can identify them immediately.
A consistency rule mandates that no single trading day can account for a massive percentage (e.g., 30% or 50%) of your total profit. Firms frequently adjust these thresholds to filter out gamblers and reward consistent traders.
We aim to document verified rule changes within 24-48 hours of their announcement. We prioritize breaking and major changes, and verify the details directly from official firm communications before publishing.
We recommend bookmarking this page and checking back regularly. We are working on an email notification system that will alert you when firms you follow make rule changes. Stay tuned for updates.
